Identifying proteins that coordinate RNA synthesis with splicing: effects of a esa1-254 point mutation on splicing in yeast
(2021)The ability for the eukaryotic cell to maintain homeostasis depends significantly on the cell’s adaptability to changes in surrounding environments. In order to maintain an internal balance, protein synthesis is highly ... -
Immigrant preschoolers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania: investigating cultural beliefs and practices in early childhood education classrooms
(2016)The Immigrant Preschoolers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania Project is a video ethnographic study that investigates cultural beliefs and practices in early childhood classrooms that are often unidentified or ignored. Preschools ... -
The Impact of Street Geocoding on Crime Hot Spot Prediction
(2015)Geocoding is used in criminology in a variety of settings. Law enforcement agencies use geocoding to help determine hot spot crime locations within their jurisdiction. Hot spot locations are those where crimes are found ... -
Inhibition Increases Modularity in Bursting Neuronal Networks
(2020)Neuronal networks in dissociated cultures spontaneously generate synchronous activity known as network bursting, which is characterized by the firing of nearly all neurons every 30−100 seconds. There has been much research ... -
Initial Reliability and Validity of the Parent Anticipatory Loss Scale
(2018)Expanded healthy life span is a global phenomenon. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Global average life expectancy increased by 5.5 years between 2000 and 2016, the fastest increase since the 1960s” (WHO, ... -
Integrated Grip Design for Sequential Use in a Bioreactor and Mechanical Testing Frame
(2019)This work focused on design, manufacture, and testing of a grip system for holding intact native ECM scaffold in a bioreactor designed by our lab. The bioreactor has the capability to apply loads and maintain a bioactive ... -
Interactive Effects of Emotional Labor and Occupational Identity on Job Attitudes
(2014)Our study examined how occupational identity moderates the effects of surface acting, a form of emotion management, on job attitudes. We applied social identity theory (SIT) to explain differences in how individuals are ... -
International trade restrictions and endangered species populations an economic analysis
(2017)We examine the effects of endangered species trade restrictions enacted by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) on species’ population trends over time. Utilizing ... -
Investigating a hard X-ray luminous AGN at high-redshift
(2021)J131453.78+243554.1, or “J1314” for short, is a galaxy serendipitously discovered by NuSTAR (during an observation of IC 860) that has peculiar multiwavelength properties. It is bright in hard X-rays with a previously ... -
Investigating additive manufacturing safety in prek-12: informing a safer learning envrionment
(2017)Additive Manufacturing technologies (e.g. 3D Printing) have been propelled into the PreK-12school environment. As reported by Love and Roy (2016), the rapid adoption of 3D printing has led to concerns over unforeseen ... -
Investigating evolution in recently established populations of stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(2021)Stickleback fish is a model organism for studying evolution and behavior. Its ancestral, marine population is extant. Marine stickleback regularly colonize freshwater lakes. Each population has variable features due to ... -
Investigating the coordination of transcription and RNA splicing via chromatin modification
(2016)All cells need to be able to respond to changes in their environment. The process that cells use to respond to environmental stimuli is gene expression, in which certain genes are expressed to generate the proteins required ... -
Investigating the effectiveness of a visual cybersickness questionnaire
(2021)Cybersickness is a form of motion sickness that occurs as a result of exposure to immersive eXtended Reality (XR) environments, such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications. Common symptoms of this ... -
Investigating the effects of glutamylation on C. elegans
(2021)TTLL enzymes are responsible for microtubule glutamylation, which promotes centriole stability and cilia motility. CCPP-1, homolog of human CCP1, regulates ciliary localization of PKD-2 in male specific sensory neurons and ... -
Investigating the Function of Tubulin Glutamylation
(2015)We are investigating the importance of tubulin glutamylation in proper microtubule function by analysing the effect of loosing the function of glutamylating enzymes. -
Investigating the Role of the Melted Region in Type IV Pili Filaments Using Steered Molecular Dynamics Simulation
(2019)Our group is using computer simulations to investigate the strength of bacterial filaments called type IV pili. Type IV pili extend from bacterial cells and are used in a wide variety of functions, including adhesion, ...
